Hey all, so I got a G4 Quicksilver and can't wait to use it, but I'm having some weird issues. It's not "booting up" properly.
Here's what's happening: I press the power button, and it glows, but fades out if I let go of it. The Power supply fans are both on, but not the small black one. The red light on the mobo lights up, and that's it. It's stuck in this weird half-on state until I unplug the power cable. It doesn't send anything to the monitor, the hard drives don't spin up, no beeps or other noises that might indicate it was on, just a low hum from the fans.
Reading around the Internet, I've diagnosed it as a dead pram battery, but I just wanted to verify with some people on the forums to make sure.
So, what do you guys think?
